Finished this script by Chris Rubeo.
Story's about Josh Bennett, a 35-year-old writer for "Today's Guy" magazine. He's good at his job and engaged to be married. Everything's looking up until Josh is sent on an assignment to explore video blogs. He comes across one that catches his eye called "Cloe's World" and contacts Cloe for an interview.
Turns out, Cloe's all of sixteen-years-old.
And Josh Bennett falls for her. And not in a brotherly-type of way. They have a sexually-charged affair.
Wow. Can the subject matter be more creepy? Josh rationalizes the affair when he learns the legal age of consent in Ohio is sixteen.
Things take a turn for the worse when Cloe tells Josh's fiance she's been sleeping with Josh. Enraged, Josh's fiance calls Cloe's mother and tells her what's been going on.
And still Josh and Cloe continue their relationship. Chris Rubeo wants us to believe this is true love.
The story is disgusting. Yet, give Rubeo credit, he can write and he can write well. The pages flow. The characters jump off the page. The emotions are real.
I just can't get past the subject matter.
Yes, I recommend Rubeo as a writer. I doubt this script will ever get made though but I'm looking forward to whatever he writes next.
